TORONTO – Pierre Poilievre is ready to succeed Erin O’Toole at the helm of the Conservative Party. With his candidacy begins – and probably already ends – the race for the leadership of the Conservatives. It is indeed very difficult to imagine another potential candidate who has any chance of victory against Poilievre, a rising star of the Canadian right, respected by the various Tory souls and feared by the other parties.

He currently serves as Shadow Minister of Finance.
